"Thank you to Mary at Stationery & Art for
sending me these pens to try out. They are Zebra Zensations. I normally
draw with rapid-o-graph pens and fountain pens because they are
refillable.

After using these pens I have changed my thinking a bit
about disposable pens. I enjoyed the ease of picking up a different nib
size with out the need to stop and clean a pen. The ink flow with all
sizes of nibs is quite smooth. I tested these pens with both my finely
cut steal stencils and other plastic stencils. There was no bleeding
with any of the nib sizes.

I include a lot of stippling in my work and
again all the nib sizes held up to that work. The line quality for cross
hatching is excellent. The black is a satisfying dark black that dries
quickly so hand smearing is a small risk. They are comfortable to hold
for long drawing session. Other than the fact that they are disposable
and will create waste when the pan is used up I would recommend them.

I
would especially encourage a new artist to invest in a set of these as
they are trying out different drawing techniques. These would also be
great for travel, urban sketchers and general sketch book work.

The
attached drawings walk you through each nib size as each nib size is
added to a sketchbook page. The final image is a two page spread
featuring the Zensations pens."

Many thanks to Bonnie for taking the time to create this artwork for us!
